As a Faculty, we have had an excellent year of achievement in education. Both Dr Jonathan McIntosh and Associate Professor Kirsten McLean were recipients of Australian Awards for University teaching and we had unprecedented success in the Vice Chancellor awards with five recipients across the education categories.

The Faculty is in a great position to build on this success and many of the projects underway will help build our innovation profile in education in a way that is sustainable and will ensure an exciting future in Arts education.

In early December, Dean Professor Sharon Pickering took the opportunity to recognise the amazing work that is done across the Faculty by our leaders in education. The recipients of this year’s awards have all shown a commitment to education matched only by their excellence in practice and innovation.

This citation recognises best practice in Faculty overseas learning and teaching programs in response to the University's internationalisation and intercultural competence development agenda.
